Tease: Paul calls Modern Warfare 2 the best shooter EVAH!
- Leo Laporte
Item 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Let's be serious, this is the only thing happening this week Never has a game so thoroughly lived up to the hype However: There is some controversy around the single player campaign Related: Microsoft bans up to 1 million players from Xbox Live for cheating
- Leo Laporte
Item 2: Windows 7 on a netbook It's fine. But it's still a netbook
- Leo Laporte
Item 3: Windows Mobile 6.5 It does not suck as much as you've been led to believe In fact, it's better than the iPhone in a few areas It's not nearly as good most of the time. Let's not get crazy
- Leo Laporte
Unpolished compared to the iPhone? How many years did it take them to add Copy/Paste to Android?

You can't count iPhone apps by numbers, because half of them are nothing more than $4.99 "flashlights" that simply turn the screen white.

Audible pick of the week: Under the Dome by Stephen King "On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the...

Official Google Mobile Blog: Google Latitude, now with Location History & Alerts - http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009...

Irma Vermaat, Brandon Titus, Laurent65 and Varun "Maverick" Pitale liked this
"Since the launch of Google Latitude earlier this year, we've been getting a lot of feature requests. One of the most popular ideas was for Latitude to keep track of location history, allowing you (but not your friends) to see where you've been at any point in time. Another popular idea was to notify you when you're near your Latitude friends so you can easily meet up or grab lunch. Today, we're happy to introduce both Google Location History and Google Location Alerts (beta) to let you do even more with Latitude."

Netbooks shunned by official Mac OS X 10.6.2 release - Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/apple...
Alex Scoble and Maxamad liked this
"The fears of netbook users with an appreciation for Mac OS X have been confirmed this week with the release of the 10.6.2 update to Snow Leopard. Users of "hackintoshed" netbooks are now finding out the hard way that attempting to install the just-released 10.6.2 update results in an unusable machine. "So, I can tell you 10.6.2 DOES NOT WORK with the [Dell] Mini10v," wrote MyDellMini forum member Crisu. "OS X tries to start, but it hangs before you can see the Apple and system is trying to boot again... you are in a loop.""

Well, nothing wrong with 10.6.1 :D

If you want OS X, get a Mac. Macs too pricey? Get the Mac Mini. $599.

I prefer having a female doctor. I'm just more comfortable with women in general.
- josh neff, Fun Dip of FF
Dentists have always been male, every other doctor I've ever seen has been female.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
No preference... but historically, I've liked my male doctors more.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
does not matter as long as they know what they are doing...................
- VAL D.
I think my preference for femal doctors started when I went to a male OBGYN who called me into his office (after the exam), slapped a bible on his desk and laid a prepared sermon on me about the sins of premarital sex.
- Shannon
Like many guys, I've had the fantasies about the hot nurses and female doctors, but in all seriousness, I really don't care what sex the doctor is as long as they do a good job
- Ian May
I would rather have a female doctor so that when I need to "turn my head and cough" it would brighten that day
-
Ive had all male dr's all my life .. and recently had to switch to a female Dr .. she's great ...
- johnpiercy
I've only had four doctors all my life actually. All male. The first and third are dead now. The second one got struck off.
- Ian May
Aw man, I read this as "I prefer a sex doctor." The regular kind doesn't seem as fun, no matter what their sexuality is.
- Noah Belson
I don't really care as long as it's a good doctor.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I ultimately want a good doctor, but I must say that I really like my current doctor (who happens to be female). It's nice when the doctor knows first-hand what it's like to deal with the speculum.
- Katy S
@Shannon - That is AWFUL! I hope you let him know what you thought of that "treatment". Geeze. I prefer female OBGyn because I had a bad experience with the male one I had when I was pregnant. I am currently in need of a GP but my last one was male and I really liked him (he moved his office across town though so I had to quit seeing him). I would probably pick a woman if I have to choose one out of the insurance directory, but I'll take either for a GP if they have a good recommendation.
- Her Lindsay-ness
I'm just happy to have a doctor that will stay at my surgery for more than a few months. Seems every time I get a decent doctor and they get to know me and my particular foibles, they up and move to a different practice. I'm beginning to get a complex :-)
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
I like having a female doctor, my only problem is that I find it hard to discuss certain things with her. Fortunately I can book appointments with one of the male doctors at her office if need be, yay socialized healthcare!
- Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Having lived with both tax-based, and insurance-based healthcare, I know which one I've been most happy with, both for me and my family
- Ian May
With doctors I don't care so much, but I only want a female dentist. Why? Because my mouth doesn't open very wide, and the spaces between my teeth are really tight, and I only want someone with dainty hands mucking about in there.
- cecily
I'd prefer a female GYN as she would be more likely to understand how things "feel" down there. I have a male GP who is as young as my Kid and I think he's great because he's one of the new school who acts as a partner to the patient, not an authority figure. And he is going to outlast me, I hope, and not move on to a fancier practice.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
The last female OBGYN I had wore an engagement ring the size of a golf ball. She double gloved that hand but it still wasn't particularly... Comfortable =/
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I have no preference. A female gynecologist once told me my periods were bad because I am a redhead. Several years later I saw a male doc for the same symptoms. He immediately suspected endometriosis, a condition that could be improved with surgery, he operated and my life improved drastically. Male, female, I don't care if they are competent.
- Heather Solos
Guy doctors. Female doctors are evil. </hyperbole>
- Anika
I don't think I would care, but I've only ever had a male doc so can't really say for sure.

"Pushkar Mela (or Pushkar Fair) is an annual five-day camel and livestock fair, held in the town of Pushkar in the state of Rajasthan, India, where over 25,000 camels are traded each year. The fair draws thousands of tourists, camels, camel traders, racers, locals and Hindu faithful who come to bathe in the sanctified Lake Pushkar - until the final day, Kartik Poornima, a Hindu holy day celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Kartik. Collected here are a handful of photographs from Associated Press photographer Kevin Frayer, from his trip to this year's Pushkar Mela."

The way I look at it, most of my friends primarily use Facebook OR Twitter. A few use both, and a few have YouTube Accounts. They don't read RSS feeds or use Google Reader or Digg or StumbleUpon. Therefore, non-geeks cannot see the benefits of this aggregation power (anyone agree or not?)

Jesse, it's the UI, mainly. I truly appreciate what Buchheit and the Gang are doing over there but the UI just makes me want to claw my eyes out. And I can't stand the never-ending stream of pokes, games, invites, et al. It's truly a spammer's paradise because it encourages your friends to just send crap to EVERYONE on their list with no discrimination. And, finally, it serves no...

- Akiva Moskovitz
Does deactivating accomplish something beyond just never visiting the site? I mean I basically never go there and don't use it, but is there some additional benefit to deactivating?
- Ken Sheppardson
No more e-mail from it, at least. And, sure, I could go there and turn off e-mail notifications but why have the account there at all then? I'm still squatting on the name so no one can take it...
- Akiva Moskovitz
Deactivating also removes you from the search and, to your friends, it looks like you vanished since your photo/profile no longer appears in their friends' list.
- Rochelle
AGAIN????
- WorldofHiglet
I deactivated it once for a couple of months and then returned with everything intact. Did you remove it completely?
- Faraz Mullick
To be perfectly honest I can't stand FB either but I have an account there that just sits idle and collects dusts. But as Rochelle mentions deleting it only makes it harder for people to find & get in touch with you. Mine is essentially just there as a placeholder because a lot of times when people go to search for somebody they (for whatever reason) start with Facebook.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Akiva, you should block more apps then - you can't do that on Twitter or FriendFeed. Have you tried the new Live feed? It's very similar to FriendFeeds. Also, have you tried the friend lists on Facebook? It's a much better experience once you start utilizing all that. I wouldn't necessarily blame the UI - I'd blame the community of 300 million+ people. That has its advantages as well.
- Jesse Stay
Nicholas, maybe he doesn't want to be found? :)
- Rochelle
Hard to blame you, dude.
- Josh Haley
Jesse, the issue I have with apps on Facebook is that it's like play whack-a-mole. I hide a dozen and then the next day, there are a dozen more. I want a button that says "hide all apps, forever and always".
- Rochelle
Yep, I just lost one of my friends. :(
- Christopher Harley
+1 Rochelle, I want a button like that too!
- Iain Baker
Jesse, what Rochelle said. If I could use it like I use FriendFeed and Twitter, I would. Also, the UI just seems claustrophobic to me.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
I would agree. I avoided using Facebook all this time until a couple of months ago; around the time FF announced they were moving to Facebook. I don't particularly like the interface of Facebook either, nor do I quite understand anything that's going on. It seems so cluttered and confusing. I much prefer FriendFeed, however, let's be honest, FF probably isn't going to be growing anymore and the future seems to be on the side of Facebook.
- Kittyburgers
I can't stand FB either... the only reason I keep the account is that occasionally people find me that wouldn't have otherwise that I would like to get in touch with again. But I'm terrible about all my friend requests piling up. About once every couple of months or so I venture in and add as many as I can stand before being overwhelmed by the clunkiness of it and having to leave.

- Jesse Stay
and Twitter will only get worse the closer to Facebook's size that it gets
- Jesse Stay
is it true that you can't really delete the accounts just put them on ice?
- metalerik
metalerik, no, that's not true
- Jesse Stay
That is an interesting point. It was been a major issue here in Canada with the privacy commission. That fact that accounts were "put on ice" and not actually deleted was causing a problem for Facebook in this country. Apparently, this issue has been resolved, but it a problem with many social networking sites (dating sites, especially).

There are apps IN Twitter? I thought there were just apps that used Twitter... I've never felt overwhelmed going to the Twitter website and looking at my account...

Akiva, I'm with you and Lindsay on the mind numbing UI. Thus far the overall experience when I'm there is just stultifying, and not for any one reason.

- Micah Wittman
I want to block all the GD causes ... i just ignore it all
- johnpiercy
@Jesse - I have no app updates on my Twitter feed... is that something you have to subscribe to? In Facebook it's total spam but I don't see anything like that on Twitter. I'm not understanding your comparison.
- Her Lindsay-ness
Wow Lindsay you haven't gotten any Mafia invites, or "so and so unfollowed you" @mentions, or "thanks for following me" DMs? If you haven't yet, you will. The bigger Twitter gets the more that stuff will appear.
- Jesse Stay
So I should just hold off on Friending you Akiva? :D
- CW™
@Jesse - I get @replies sometimes... but I don't follow a lot of people and not really obsessed with growing my followers on Twitter so I guess I don't see the "thanks" replies. I have no idea what Mafia invites are. I think Twitter is all about who you follow.
- Her Lindsay-ness
Jesse - you can't block apps on friendfeed, but you certainly can set your custom searches to ignore things. I have blocked every damn app there is, but there isn't a way to block all "which pair of Edward Cullen's pants" surveys, because they don't come from an app, each one is a new app all it's own.
- Matthew DeVries
Lindsay, you're missing out on why I hate Twitter then. If you bring the same people on Facebook over to Twitter, you'll see Mafia invites. That will happen eventually if Twitter continues to grow. The problem with Twitter is you can't opt out of those.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, you make a fair point about being able to hide individual apps on Facebook when you can't on Twitter but that's still not enough of a sell over the rest of Facebook's endless annoyances.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
Jesse - if you're using vanilla twitter, you're right on all of that, but nobody uses vanilla twitter. All of the Twitter apps have custom searches that you can tune exactly how you want them, and with the grouping feature rolling out within the month, that becomes even more powerful. Just like on Friendfeed, you're not supposed to stick your face into the main firehose. That's in the background.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, and FriendFeed is owned by Facebook now - guess who owns that technology? Not Twitter. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Matthew, you can block Mafia dms in TweetDeck or Seesmic? (outside of using SocialToo to do that for you)
- Jesse Stay
You don't look at your DM's. You look at a filtered list of your DM's.
- Matthew DeVries
The other problem is Twitter doesn't separate apps from non-app data. I can't filter by only status update (you can do that in Facebook - just go over to the left, click "more", and "status updates")
- Jesse Stay
Matthew, I can do that with Facebook in TweetDeck/Seesmic as well. I think we're talking about native sites here.
- Jesse Stay
I don't think anyone talks about native when it comes to Twitter. Twitter is Twitter apps, and mobile devices. Scoble has said 95% of his twitter activity (sending, sorting, reading, processing) is on his iPhone.
- Matthew DeVries
The only thing that bugs me about Twitter is the silliness of the 140 character limit.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, so is Facebook. The advantage Facebook has is its native UI is much more rich than Twitter's native UI so people actually use it.
- Jesse Stay
I don't know anyone who uses apps to view facebook. I don't even know what facebook app would do. I know what apps on facebook are, but a facebook viewing app?
- Matthew DeVries
I do like Facebook's iPhone client. If there were a similar desktop app, I might be more forgiving. But Facebook's web UI is as horrible as Twitter's but for each their own reasons.
- Akiva Moskovitz
from BuddyFeed
@akiva the lite.facebook.com is like the iphone app look and feel
- Jorge Escobar
I hate myspce more.
- Patrick
Matthew, both TweetDeck and Seesmic let you view Facebook. You can set up filters there just like you can for Twitter. I think any lack of filtering in that case is the app's fault.
- Jesse Stay
Akiva, be sure to take advantage of the facebook lists - remember you can also drag any list to the top and it becomes your default news feed. Also, as I said to Matthew, there are several Facebook desktop clients, some of them which also support Twitter.
- Jesse Stay
Akiva, also, what Jorge and Daniel said. http://lite.facebook.com is much more like the iPhone app.
- Jesse Stay
Actually yeah, Lite blocks all apps and annoying nonsense. It's a cleaner looking version of the Facebook I joined when I was in high school. You'll miss chat and instant notifications, but perhaps those things don't mean much to you.
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Wow, Lite is amazing! That is fan freakin tastic. I will never be asked again which NFC quarterback's jock would make the best emperor of a small caribean country
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, that's the power of Facebook - you have choice :-)
- Jesse Stay
Seriously though - try that "Status Updates" filter I mentioned above. It filters by just status update. Drag it and drop it to the top of the lists and it's now your default in Facebook.
- Jesse Stay
I'll keep all of these things in mind if I ever do decide to reactivate my account. None of it, however, answers the fact that Facebook offers me nothing that I can't already get somewhere else.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I am pretty sure I read that most Twitter users use the Twitter.com site. I'll share the link if I can find it.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from iPhone
Annoyingly, they have a hidden trick, too - it'll seem that your account is "inactive", but the very moment you log in, even just to change a setting, without intent to use the service fully, they end up reactivating the account silently.
- Tyson Key
RE Twitter, http://tweetstats.com/twitter... says "web" only accounts for 32.6% of... well... of something.
- Ken Sheppardson
good for you, Akiva. I'm not sure why I'm still there.
- Jim Hearts FF
Totally didn't expect the explosion of comments on this!
- Akiva Moskovitz
32.6% of today's tweets. I believe I saw another chart that showed that most tweets come from a hardcore subset of users. Consider that the majority of Tweeters didn't tweet at all yesterday, and then wonder which client they use. Oh hey, here's the study I was talking about earlier: http://friendfeed.com/ricmac...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If I want FB to replace FF somehow--I hate it too. If I approach it as a different thing, it sucks less. YMMV.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Daniel: Heh. So among people who don't actually use Twitter, the web is the most popular client, eh? ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Exactly. The majority of twitter's userbase did not tweet yesterday. http://www.twitstat.com/churn... I believe if Scoble tweets 100 times in a week from Tweetie and I tweet once in a week from Web then we are counted equally in the twitstat Churn chart.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I sorta think the "last 4 tweets" methodology in the study you link is pretty flawed. That includes all users who signed up, posted via the web, then abandoned, no? (I guess I should probably read the whole study). Would the day-to-day client stats vary wildly for some reason? If only 32.6% of the tweets yesterday came in via the web, wouldn't that be true for any arbitrary day and in aggregate?
- Ken Sheppardson
Ah, but that's per tweet vs per user... but so is the Rapleaf study. Hm.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'd guess that client choice correlates with tweet volume and follow count. If you're only following 5 people and you tweet twice a year you've got little motivation to branch out, no?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Yup. BTW, I checked out of this thread earlier and only jumped back in when I noticed your comment re "most twitter users use the twitter.com site" and now that I actually *read* that comment... :-) Yeah, that makes perfect sense, and isn't inconsistent with only ~33% of *tweets* coming in via the web.
- Ken Sheppardson
To each his or her own. I use FB to keep in touch with grad school friends and people I meet at academic conferences. Well, that and to chat with my niece online. Her mom and dad control her online access and FB is one of the few places permitted (and even then the adults have password access to her account). And of course, I have a few scrabble games going on there. However, if I had those things elsewhere, I'd probably leave.
- Katy S
Katy, I think you bring up a good point: Facebook, for a lot of people, is a site they use by necessity. You're on Facebook because you have people with whom you want to communicate where you can't elsewhere either because they're not there (your niece) or because the convenience factor isn't there (your grad school friends). I think a lot of people feel like you do, too: they'd quit...

If so many people, myself included, hate all these crappy little mafia war type requests, then why doesn't facebook just let you click a button and have them all go away forever? Is it that they make too much money off these things? Is it that they don't want to piss off all the developers of this spam? I'd think empowering the user to have a better experience should be higher up on facebooks priority list.
- Thomas Hawk
from iPhone
TH, I think because only the techies hate the games and other crappy apps. The majority of the 300mill users are non-techies and actually they love those things. I just need to look at the friends and family I have. Only the techies do not regularly spam me with app invites and status updates about their effing farm or mafia crap.

Opting out of apps forever is a bit of a scorched earth policy and I doubt the FB folks are ready to give up on apps. Maybe FB could offer more granular control of apps - only show me business related apps from this particular friends list; auto-block any games from my high school classmates. This would require some moderation and filing of the apps into categories though.

I actually *want* to like Facebook, since that's where most of my family and closest friends hang out, but the UI is like a Lovecraftian nightmare, only less warm and cuddly. The funny thing is, I've pretty much dropped my Friendfeed participation to zero in spite of the superior UI and community, simply because I'm spending all my socnet time on my phone, and BuddyFeed is really pretty awful when compared to Tweetie and the Facebook app.
- Roger Benningfield
Roger, I hear ya. The iphone Facebook app makes Facebook mildly more tolerable than the web UI and I'm hard at work on a new project to bring Tweetie's goodness to FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/akiva.... If you have any requests, comments, demands, daydreams, etc., please let me know in that thread.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, you mean Tweetie 2 right, because Tweetie 1 was just like all the rest =P.
- Travis Koger
I got tweetie 2 yesterday. I tell you. its awesome.
- Roberto Bonini
@roberto: Tweetie 2 is indeed awesome. In fact, I'd call if perfect if they'd just steal a couple features from Twittelator.
- Roger Benningfield
Travis, yep, yep, Tweetie 2. My /b/.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Coooool, as your Friendfeed iPhone Post comment says, Tweetie Goodness. Drop-drag refresh is one of my favourite little funcs on that app, but agree about replication.
- Travis Koger
It's becoming trendy to say you hate facebook. Everyone said FB was the greatest thing since sliced bread when it was just them and myspace. I promise you would see the same kind of backlash toward FF if it ever got even half as big as FB. Just beacause you choose to have a minority opinion about something doesn't make you cool, it just makes you elitist.
- Jason Williams
from iPhone
I've never liked Facebook, Jason, and I've never even had a MySpace account. I was very reticent to get in on the whole social networking thing. I signed on to Facebook and was unimpressed. Twitter was okay. I liked SocialThing a lot but it was FriendFeed that really got the ball rolling for me. Nice try, though, Jason.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Facebook hate has been trendy here on FF for as long as FF has existed, Jason. There are legitimate reasons to rebel against social media's version of Microsoft.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
You either love it or hate it but you can't do without it once you get entangled.

With respect to all the opinions, and as much as I resisted creating a Facebook account myself, can one really deny the fact that Facebook, with all it's faults, is really where most of "the action" is these days?
- Kittyburgers
from IM
@Kittyburgers (love that name, by the way). If you're younger, it's almost, unequivocally, where all the action is. More specifically, those of us that have grown up with it as our primary social network from the start. It's really hard to move all 200 people from high school and 150 people from college to a different network, when they themselves have people that won't move. Where else would they go anyway?

- Kevin Pedraja
Thomas, I think you just nailed it.
- Ha3rvey (more more more)
Every day I go to Facebook and there is more crap. Today? No, I don't want to "become a fan" of Mafia Hot Models. No I don't want to Vote for Cathy to be the next Panasonic LiHD Insider! No, I don't want to become a fan of "Six Degrees Of Separation - The Experiment". I don't want the "yacht game invitation" or the "zynga poker gift request," etc. I shouldn't have to continuously clear all this spam crap off my page. I should be able to push a single button and have all of it disappear forever.
- Thomas Hawk
I've gotten into the habit of blocking everything. Probably hundreds of things by now, and it starts to be come manageable. There are only so many "applications" my friends can use. Some of the other stuff is strictly ads, like "Become a fan of X because Y and Z did," which can't be avoided unless you're using an adblocker (which may or may not block those...,).
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
I did that once. Ultimately I re-activated it but set everything so that basically people can send me messages, and nothing else. Every so often someone from the past pops up & it's worth it, I guess.

Account Temporarily Unavailable. Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes. Uh oh. I hope someone at Facebook isn't pissed at me.
- Thomas Hawk
The other thing Facebook should let you block is all friend suggestions from either Facebook or other users. These are a pain too.
- Thomas Hawk
the other thing is you should be allowed to block all events out of your immediate area or at least out of California. It's really hard to tell where some of the events that you get invited to are and I can already tell you I'm not going to the social networkers anonymous black tie masquerade party in Miami Florida next month. Why should I even be forced to look at these. Couldn't facebook simply filter out all non California events at my request?
- Thomas Hawk
I wasn't speaking about you specifically Akiva so it's wasn't a "try". You have your own reasons to dislike Facebook and some of them may be valid. My point is that, like music or tv, if you don't like a specific band or show you just don't watch/listen. That is not the case here. Instead of just not using Facebook you found it necessary to announce it. Why is that? I'm sure it's a...

- Jason Williams
Well, Jason, I'm not going to play patty-cake with you when it appears that you're not really here to do anything other than to make assumptions about my motives that would be insulting if any of them were near to true. And, if you know how to change the radio station, then you know how to ignore my feed, too. Take your own advice.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Bravo Akiva!
- Jorge Escobar
from IM
Jason, I think lot of us "announce" things here all the time. Sometimes it's what we ate for breakfast or a good movie that we saw or that the clerk at the DMV was a jerk or whatever. Why assign negative motivations to Akivas post? Do you think it's hip and cool to be an anti-anti-facebooker? If you don't like his post, why not simply hide it? Why the need to announce that you don't...

Ehn, I think there were some nuggets in Jason's post but nothing I support wholeheartedly - especially when he's wrong about it being different from Music or TV. You should see indie band elitists or people that are too cool to watch TV. Akiva can do what he wants and Jason can hide it...,
- Clark Baumgartner 蔵明 馬武刀
Akiva, I did make assumptions about your motives which you never confirmed or denied and so be it. You are entitled to your opinion and if you dislike Facebook and want to announce it fine. I'm not subscribed to your feed nor did I go searching for it but this was on "best of the day" at the time. My beef, besides the whole hate Facebook bandwagon is that it seems unwarranted. The...

- Jason Williams
Thomas, I get the whole announcing part but I still stand by my interpretation of his motives. I respect you but I would think you could say something more constructive than throwing my words back in my face. He had an opinion and I had an opinion about his opinion. Isn't that how discussion works or is that only if you agree with the mass?
- Jason Williams
Clark, thanks but I think I was unclear or you misread me (or maybe I'm misreading you lol). I was trying to say it was no different than Music or TV. What I meant was that some people here were treating it like it was different.
- Jason Williams
Jason, first, sorry if I was a bit short with you. My daughter was in surgery at the time an my stress levels were through the roof. At any rate, if I was unable to defend my initial statement, then yeah, I'd probably be ripe for the accusation of just bandwagoneering but I feel like I explained and then defended my reasons for disliking Facebook in my comments. And I posted this mainly...

Ghosting on 500L?: Canon SLR Lens Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review - http://forums.dpreview.com/forums...
"Last week I bought a used copy of the 500L at KEH (LN- condition) . Most shots I've taken are fine, but today while processing some shots I noticed some strange ghosting effect. Does anyone know if this is normal? or is this a defective copy? I am trying to decide if I should return it. Here is the unprocessed shot. The ghost image is very very faint:"
